He was chosen to pierce Christ with a spear. According to legend, he was born with cataracts, and at the moment he pierced Christ, a drop of blood splashed onto his face, instantly healing him and restoring his sight. As written in apocryphal accounts, including the Acts of Pilate, after this act and the miracle he witnessed, Longinus repented and turned to faith.
